LIVING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE QUR'AN

If you tried to number God’s blessings, you could never count
them. God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nahl, 18)
So eat from what God has provided for you, lawful and good, and

be thankful for the blessing of God if it is Him you worship. (Surat
an-Nahl, 114)
He has given you everything you have asked Him for. If you tried
to number God’s blessings, you could never count them. Man is
indeed wrongdoing, ungrateful. (Surah Ibrahim, 34)
We gave Luqman wisdom: ‘Give thanks to God. Whoever gives

thanks only does so to his own good. Whoever is ungrateful, God
is Rich Beyond Need, Praiseworthy.’ (Surah Luqman, 12)
…you see ships on them, cleaving through the waves so that you
can seek His bounty and so that hopefully you will be thankful.
(Surah Fatir, 12)
It is God Who has made the sea subservient to you so that the
ships sail on it at His command, enabling you to seek His bounty,
so that hopefully you will be thankful. (Surat al-Jathiyah, 12)

God is He Who appointed the night for you so that you might rest
in it, and the day for seeing. God pours out His favour on mankind
but most people do not show thanks. (Surah Ghafir, 61)
What will those who invent lies against God think on the Day of
Rising? God shows favour to mankind but most of them are not
thankful. (Surah Yunus, 60)

There was also a sign for Saba in their dwelling place: two gardens–
one to the right and one to the left. ‘Eat of your Lord’s provision
and give thanks to Him: a bountiful land and a forgiving Lord.’
(Surah Saba’, 15)
